SIA Group is delighted to announce they have been awarded the following category wins at the prestigious 2013 ACQ Global Awards:

• UK – Property & Plant Valuation Provider of the Year
• UK – Asset Disposal Firm of the Year
• UK – Corporate Insolvency Advisor of the Year

The ACQ Awards have been celebrating achievement, innovation and brilliance since 2008 and the categories were given to 57,642 industry peers to vote.

In 2012 its multi award winning asset valuation team conducted asset appraisals which supported many of the largest leveraged buyouts of UK mid-market companies and have worked on a wide range of high profile restructuring assignments to maximise value.

Paul Craig, Head of SIA Group London office, cited its market awareness as a key enabler of success. He said” The valuation and appraisal business has changed dramatically since the collapse of the financial markets in the last five years. Asset based lending at the top end of the SME market has accelerated and private equity firms are now more pro-active in looking to their portfolio of companies to obtain an accurate gauge on asset values. We have invested in people who possess the unique combination of valuation, business analytical skills and work out experience supported by strong financial backgrounds to drive the business forward and pioneer the market. The group’s specialist knowledge of machinery and equipment, inventory and receivables is in demand from leading lending institutions and private equity firms driven by the need to understand risk exposure and a need to provide solutions to recover potential exposure”

SIA Group is one of the UK’s leading independent asset valuation and disposal firms. Our experience, expertise and an innovative approach to understanding and providing solutions to often complex situations makes us the trusted asset appraiser of choice to asset based lenders, banks, private equity firms, financial institutions, restructuring firms and corporate entities.
